About Maximizing Resources for your Family Member 

The Filing for SSI/SSDI webinar will talk about maximizing the public resources available, however the most effective means to providing an individual the opportunity to achieve a full life is to maximize both public and private resources.

exhausted-mature-man-rubbing-nose-bridge-after-wearing-3974777Service providers continue to struggle with limited budget constraints and high staff turnover.  Families who have tired of receiving minimal supports and services will often utilize their own resources to supplement those needed.  Although every individual has their own personality and needs, many dreams have been realized by creatively pooling resources between several families. 

The best way to identify and obtain services is to go directly to the gateway for those services. It is important to be educated when calling them directly; it may be helpful to gather information from other families or advocacy agencies involved with or knowledgeable about that specific service area. Once you know and understand the "rules of the road", ask to speak with a manager. 

As Certified Financial Planner Professionals™, we focus upon maximizing the resources families have available to plan for both their financial security and for the lifetime needs of their child with a disability. Please join us on Tuesday, June 16 for our webinar and contact us to discuss whether we can help you maximize your resources to provide a full life for your child.
